OK, here is the thought process and some concerns that have been running around in my head.. The original plan was to stay with the 4 lug wheels, get the halibrand replicas and radial TAs and be done... then I start thinking (always a problem!!). For the price of the halibrands I can upgrade to 5 lug and put a set of 15" Torque Thrust or Bullits on the car. Well, I'm not sure the Torque Thrusts will fit (any thoughts?), so I look at the Bullits. Now with the Bullits you get a greater selection of tires, if I go with a better tire (than the radial TAs), then am I going to have to deal with wheel hop and if so, does this mean I need to either weld in new upper control arm mounts (I'm definately not a welder!!), go with the new 3 link or what!! Now that I have the bigger 17" tires, will the factory brakes (front disk and rear drum) look stupid and will I have to upgrade here??
I'm beginning to get concerned that by 'saving' a couple dollars not buying the halibrands will actually cost me hundreds in upgrades!! Then I think (there is that problem again), that if I do it now, it will save me from doing it later!
Any thoughts, if any of this makes sense, would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gratz
